Wearable Pre-Impact Fall Detection System Based on 3D Accelerometer and Subject's Height

This study presents a low-power wearable system able to predict a fall by detecting a pre-impact condition, performed through a simple analysis of motion data (acceleration) and height of the subject. The system can detect a fall in all directions with an average consumption of 5.91 mA; i.e., it can...
